[OFF TOPIC] Politics Thread

The 2nd Amendment idiots are hosting a “huge” gun rally in Virginia on Sunday. There’s already been multiple arrests of white-nationalists that the FBI suspected were planning attacks. It’ll be interesting how many people show up after that, plus Virginia has banned guns at the event, so...

 

If it’s a large rally, I fully expect violent clashes between groups like the Proud Boys and Antifa. So be on the lookout for that I guess.

 

The area I live in is highly pro-gun, and it drives me crazy. With the shit these people post, I don’t think any of them should have guns. I honestly don’t even trust most of our police department to have personal guns.

 

If there is a “blue wave” in November, I fully expect and hope to see major gun reform.

Look at these people. These are the faces of people who value gun’s lives more than our children’s. Fuck them, fuck them to anywhere lower than hell.

I hope Antifa kicks the shit out of these guys at some point today.

Yay, insane violent idiots from one side against insane violent idiots from the other side, that's gonna be....quite something.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Well it may very well mirror the polar opposites the each party seems ready to elect.

There is nothing wrong with having a gun.   As long as the proper checks were made.  And hell.  Make it even harder. More background checks or whatnot.  But completley banning them will bring the country to chaos.   What happened when that crazy guy went to the church to shoot people.  He was stopped by a civilian with a gun.   Bad guys will always find ways to get guns whether you ban it, its not that hard to get a gun illegally.  However I had to go through alot when I got mine.

I have zero need for a gun. Most people that have a gun have zero need for a gun. I’ve offered a compromise to many gun owners, and many think that “I’m infringing on their liberties and rights”. I’d love to see all guns banned, but it’s not possible. So what I’d like to see, is everything besides single shot rifles and pistols banned. You also shouldn’t need more than 5 bullets in a clip. If you need more than 5 bullets to a hit a target, you aren’t qualified to be using a gun the first place. 
 

There should be no one who values a “gun’s rights” over our children’s rights to life.

I have no problems with that.  I have one gun and no conceal carry.   So yes there is no need to have an armory in your house.   But in Virginia they want to go around and pick up everyone's guns.  It's not about limitation.  It's about picking up all of them.

Completely agree. I mean, this is really not what a regular civilian needs. The fuck. One can only hope they are just trolling with some props, but you know, 'Murica.

    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
